Default Drip drip rear main

#1 I hate oil leaks. During the rebuild of the engine for the GTO I installed a main seal from BOP. This bottom end is a 68 400. I cleaned and prepared as per the instructions. I used the gray high temp silicon as directed. I don't think it ever did seal. Now I have moved to warmer climate and don't have the engine lift or room to do it again. Years ago when I contacted BOP an engineer there told me, "nothing is perfect".
For the first time ever I had to add a quart of oil, VR-30, to bring it back to the full mark. There is only 400 to 500 miles on the last oil change Now the engine has maybe 10K on it and I get a several drops on the floor and the trans pan get coated. Is there any magic bullets out here short of pulling the motor to fix it???If I do end up doing it again what is the best rear main seal to use? I've been told the Ford 460 seal is the same. Fel-Pro always includes the fiberglass rope seal in the gasket sets that I have used. Repeat#1
